Remembering the death of my Mother |
Thirteen years have come and gone That’s how long my Mother has been gone I missed her so much the day she left You can never know the pain I felt I miss my Mother I know now that she could not stay That is why she went away To a home that is a better place A home where she will forever be safe I miss my Mother Letting her go was hard to do But go she did and was borne anew Death came and gave her wings Now all of heaven’s angels sing I miss my Mother They say that parting is such sweet sorrow But it took away my hope for tomorrow Thirteen years ago My Mother departed Leaving me so broken hearted I miss my Mother Time may heal a broken heart And you may learn to live apart But nothing takes the place of Mother Not time, clothes, jewelry or a Father I miss my Mother So love your Mother while she is here Stay in touch and keep her near You only get one true Mother Who can never be replaced by another I miss my Mother Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall I miss her through it all She was my girl, my friend and my lover Lord, I thank you for giving me Florence for my Mother I truly miss her, my girl, my Mother |
